How to Support your Sister through her first Pregnancy

[myturn]

I guess I will be in your sisters position when I finally get pregnant, and to be honest, I will just want to learn it all myself. I will want it all to be new, and not have my sister tell me anything... It will annoy the crap out of my if she does to be honest

I guess if she is asking that's a bit different - but a bit silly for her to ask a question and then disagree with your comments! however if she just makes a comment and then you tell her that your experience is different, she may resent that. I guess you have to take her lead a bit - and maybe just say, "I'm here if you have any questions, anytime".

oh... and as a big sister myself, I know that I tend to push my opinions and think I know more than she does....but really, it's not true, and we all have to learn our own lessons along the way. Let her enjoy it, without feeling pressure to be doing things the way you think are correct... after all, I bet there will be many MORE differences in opinion once the baby is born.... I cringe with my sisters parenting style, but I have learned not to say anything, as after all... all our experiences are different, and my relationship with her will be affected if I push too hard.. it's just not worth it....

sorry if I sound too harsh, but maybe just let her learn the hard way ... you did.... and that turned out okay I'm assuming....
